Shoebox Project collects 17,200 gifts for area homeless

Collections in Cobb top 3,000 shoeboxes

United Way of Metropolitan Atlanta wrapped up another successful Shoebox Project campaign on May 8. More than 17,200 decorated shoeboxes — a 3,500-unit increase over last year and the most ever collected during any one campaign — filled with toiletry items were collected. Companies, organizations and individuals in Cobb County donated over 3,100 shoeboxes this year. Three of the shoeboxes that were lovingly decorated are shown below. Approximately 67 agencies throughout the region serving homeless women and children will distribute the boxes. Altogether, more than 66,350 shoeboxes have been distributed since the annual campaign began in 2006!
